I've been watching this blog for quite a while now. Such wonderful projects! Seems like a burst of activity recently too.
I have a nearly one year old daughter so my sewing opportunities are rare and wonderful these days. I guess that means that more than ever I should make rare and wonderful things?! Anyway I've been collecting some old patterns, and snatching time to sew every now and again, plus I started a blog of my own, so I decided it was time to join you all.
I actually accepted my invite to the group nearly a week ago but I got sidetracked by knitting, and my husband giving me a new computer as an early birthday present (transferring files and the weekend kept me away from the computer and now I'm so behind!).
Clearly I may not post here all that regularly. So until next time, here are some things I've already made as a start.
These are pinafores that sew up really quickly -- one pattern piece and some binding and ties. I'm planning to try making a reversible one next -- no binding and two garments in one!
This is from one of several patterns I got from momspatterns. It's Simplicity 4018.
The pinafore is pictured on the two children at bottom right.
I'm also working on the dress in views one and two at the top of the pattern. It was supposed to be my daughter's Easter dress but I didn't have time to finish and now I just want to finish it before she's too big to fit into it! Perhaps for her birthday? I'll post a picture when it's done.
